Stephen Curry injury update: Warriors star to undergo MRI after Celtics' Marcus Smart lands on his foot

The Golden State Warriors lost Stephen Curry for the remainder of their game vs. the Boston Celtics on Wednesday with what the team described as a left foot soreness. No other details were given.

Curry left late in the second quarter and was ruled out shortly after halftime. The injury occurred as Curry and Marcus Smart were pursuing a loose ball. Smart dove and landed on Curry's left foot. Shortly after the final buzzer sounded, it was announced that Curry would undergo an MRI on his injured foot

Steph came up limping after fighting for a loose ball

Warriors coach Steve Kerr did not appear to be happy with Smart's aggressiveness in that situation. As you can see in this video, Kerr and Smart were "talking" and you can draw your own conclusions about what's being discussed.

The interaction between Marcus Smart and Steve Kerr after Steph Curry was headed for the locker room.

Kerr obviously isn't going to be pleased with his star player having his leg rolled up on by an opposing player, but Smart didn't do anything wrong here. He was pursuing a loose ball. We love to criticize NBA players for not playing hard, and that's all Smart did here. He went to the floor immediately, and in fact, Curry stepped under him after Smart was already into his dive.

We will continue to update this story as more information on the specifics of Curry's injury becomes available.

Video Of How 'Fake Klay Thompson' Got Past The Warriors Security And Gets Shots On The Court

The Golden State Warriors ended up winning Game 5 of the 2022 NBA Finals against the Boston Celtics and took a 3-2 lead in the series. It feels certain that the Dubs will win this series and win their fourth NBA Championship in the last eight years. While winning the finals will mean a lot for every player on the Dubs' roster, it will certainly mean more for Klay Thompson. Klay was sidelined due to injuries over the last two seasons and made a comeback this season. Finishing off the season with a ring will certainly be the cherry on top for him. Speaking of Klay Thompson, an incident took place around a certain lookalike of the Warriors' sharpshooter. We are sure you must remember the 'Fake Klay Thompson' who got famous a few years ago. Prior to Game 5 of the series, Fake Klay snuck into the Chase Center and got shots up before the matchup began. NBA fans found this hilarious, but it seems like the Warriors organization didn't. He was handed a lifetime ban from th...

Bill Russell Is Only The 5th NBA MVP To Pass Away After Kobe Bryant, Moses Malone, Wes Unseld, And Wilt Chamberlain

The NBA just celebrated its 75th Anniversary last season, showing that the league is much younger than most of the major sports leagues worldwide. As a result, most of the legends of the game are still around and are allowing younger players to get first-hand advice from them. Bill Russell was the most legendary player from the '60s and dominated the league by winning 11 championships in 13 years. He also won 5 NBA MVP awards in his era, proving that his defensive prowess is something that could catapult him to be an MVP despite never averaging more than 19 points a season. Russell passed away yesterday and became only the 5th NBA MVP in history to pass away. The first one to do so was Wilt Chamberlain in 1999, followed by Moses Malone in 2015, Kobe Bryant and Wes Unseld in 2020, and now Russell in 2022. These are legends of the game, and it is heartbreaking to know that they aren't amongst us anymore. This observation was made by Reddit user u/WeaponFactory. Chamberl...
